SLAM FREAKING DUNK!

[krkaufman]

19. THERE ARE *NOT* 100,000 TROOPS TRAINED.

Please, Kerry, call him on this lie. Stake the election on this lie. Fry Bush with it.

[crickets]

47. Exactly

The total number of security trainees who have made it through the 6 week program =

*drumroll*

ZERO!!

I hope Kerry gets that in somewhere.

[bowens43]

Iraq didn't attack us!!

THAT is what I wanted to hear tonight!!

[krkaufman]

52. "The enemy attacked us"

Oops. We're talking about Iraq, George. Iraq didn't attack us.

[WI_DEM]

20. Kerry just went for the kill

speaking about letting Bin Laden off the hook in Afghanistan.

[WI_DEM]

34. Kerry has set it up: Bin Laden vs. Saddam--which is biggest threat

[SemiCharmedQuark]

21. This is like a beautiful beautiful dream...please don't let me wake up

[xyboymil]

22. DAMN I cannot believe how Kerry is JUST nailing him over and over..

Unbelievable!

[xyboymil]

44. 35-40 countries had better capabilites for nuclear war then Saadam...BOOM!

HOly Shit Kerry just sent * reeling! :nuke:

[crickets]

24. "They're fighting us

because they (terrorists) are fighting freedom." :wtf: Welcome to Bizarro world! * is flailing and making no sense. This is the second time he's broken his OWN RULES to break in, and I wish Lehrer would call him on it.


"The enemy attacked us." Kerry calling him out on conflating OSL with Hussein, how Irq was no threat, and pointing out the missed chance at Tora Bora. GO, JOHN, GO!!!

[onecitizen]

26. woohooo JOHN

Saddam didn't attack us! OBL did!! Good one Kerry!!!

[brooklynite]

27. FR: Its the vast Left-Wing Conspiracy that's to blame.....

This whole thing was set up to put bush on defensive. I think that they saw how he reacted to the last attacks at a press conference and how bush got agitated and off message. This whole debate stinks of liberal set-up.

[cal04]

29. Go kerry on Osama

[exsoccermom]

30. Is it any wonder that the world hates Bush

As long as Bush is in control, there will be no world support (or
EURO support) for any US actions.

[are_we_united_yet]

31. Uhhhh

A massacre from vantage point. But then again I'm about as impartial as Fox News.

[peacetalksforall]

32. Kerry - smoothly, calmly on the offensive in a diplomatic way and sooooo

articulate and engaged. Bravo!

[tishaLA]

[kitkatrose]

40. Yes yes yes yes yes!!!

[Nicholas_J]

41. Kerry is keeping a poker face

Bush is wigging.

Kerry is staying on message, it was not Saddam it was Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. It was not Saddam, it was Al Qaeda.

Saddam was getting weaker and easily controllable, was less capable of making weapons thatn 35 nations.

Kerry is in control of this debate, Bush is not making his point.

Bush is making faces and blinking, hismost noted weakness in debates, But Kerry AINT SWEATING.

[spooked]

42. *'s head just went back with that punch

Iran, Korea, world more dangerous

preemptive and preventative war.

[marigold20]

49. Dry Drunk George surfaces at last

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

53. Bush just finished his water...and it's only 10 PM! LOL!!!

Nuke proliferation... it's about time!!!

[freetobegay]

[Rooktoven]

56. Nice play of credibility card

[Columbia]

[lasttrip]

58. i think hes really going to cry.

[drscm]

OMG! BUSH SIGHED!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

59. Bush: "Test? TEST!!??!?! OH NO!!!!"

[brooklynite]

60. Piledriver!

"The word of the President of the United States is good enough For me.....How many world leaders would say that today?"

[democracyindanger]

62. Bush stumped by use of word "test"

[Girlieman]

63. Bush doesn't understand global test

Duh!

[Girlieman]

Now Bush is insulting our allies

For agreeing not to be international criminals.

[Girlieman]

87. My dog knows more about Bush

[johnfunk]

65. HEADS UP -- I think * is SWEATING!!!

Watch the collar...

[delete_bush]

66. big screw up, they gave the chimp

a pen vs. the crayon he requested. He keeps trying but he doesn't quite have the hang of it yet. Go Chimpy Go!

[complain jane]

67. Kerry is AMAZING tonight. Bush completely imploding.

Bush, space cadet. Revealing his third-grade level of understanding of the world. Smug, smirk, childish.

Petulant child.

[snowbear]

President Kerry Rocks!

Bush keeps saying "uhhhhhhh"... "uhhhhhhhhh"...

He's driving me CrAzY with his babbling!!

[GiovanniC]

68. BUSH: "Pass a Global Test?"

"I ain't gonna pass no fuckin' global test. I fuckin' suck at tests."

[arcos]

he has no idea what the International Criminal Court is...... n/t

[tjwash]

69. HAH! B* is trying to give a "checkers" like speech.

[Nicholas_J]

70. Kerry is just staying on message...

He is pointing out very clearly how Bush has alientated us from the rest of the world and almost incapable of getting support from other nations.

[crickets]

71. Holy crap

Bush is actually bringing up the Hague. OH MAN...

[wolframtarant]

91. Moo-lahs?

MULLAHS! IT'S MULLAHS!

[theoceansnerves]

i really think he's completely fallen apart now..

rambling about not joining the international criminal court.

[Nicholas_J]

He is doing everything that a debater can do wrong

He is just showing overwhelmingly being pissed off that ANYONE dare
question him, he is failing to keep his voice modulated. He is rambling, almost totally pointless rambling speech saying almost nothing.

[Nicholas_J]

104. This debate is coing down to the differnce between

Nuclear and "NUKE U LAR"

[krkaufman]

72. Would someone please point out to George that the UN sanctions DID work

Why can't Kerry simply point out that Bush is denigrating the UN -- wrongly.

Doesn't Bush owe an apology to the UN, since their weapons inspections obviously DID work -- as evidenced by the absence of WMDs.

HELLOOOOO!!!]

[krkaufman]

89. Saddam WAS disarmed...!!!

Where are the WMDs, George?!?!

[AntiFascist]

73. Pass a global test ->

Kofi Annan doesn't call you a criminal. It is easy to form an alliance. members don't leave the alliance.

Are you taking on the international criminal court Mr. President?

[deadparrot]

74. Bush is STAMMERING.

This is a whole new ballgame from 2000.

Shouldn't there have been a response?

[The Spirit of JFK]
